Super PAC supporting Ainge for Congress funded almost entirely by the candidate's parents

(KUTV) One of the Republicans running to replace Jason Chaffetz in Congress is getting some help from from his famous father -- especially when it comes to money.

Danny Ainge, a former BYU basketball player who went on to great success in the NBA, visited Utah County Monday evening to campaign for his son, Tanner Ainge. The elder Ainge sat in a dunk tank in Orem and let fans soak him.

But the support goes much deeper than that. According to Federal Election Commission filings, Danny Ainge and his wife, Michelle, have almost entirely funded a super political action committee, known as Conservative Utah, to the tune of $250,000.
